IF YOU ARE AN AMD USER THAT USES OSX Lion 10.7.5: You will probably (most likely) experience severe lag. Please try and upgrade to 10.8.3 since wine does not function well with AMD GPUs and 10.7.5..

Neverwinter is an upcoming Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) for the Microsoft Windows platform in development by Cryptic Studios. It is scheduled for an early 2013 release as of August 2011. Based in the fictional Forgotten Realms city of Neverwinter, the game was originally scheduled to be released as a crossmedia event coinciding with the release of a series of four books by fantasy author R.A. Salvatore and a tabletop game from Wizards of the Coast. Announced on August 23, 2010, Neverwinter is a standalone game and not part of the previous Neverwinter Nights series. The game is scheduled to run closed beta testing from February 8, 2013 to April 14, 2013. Open beta began on April 30, 2013.

If you have an issue with this port, a solution may have all ready been found.

Known Issues and how to fix them (click 'show'):

Spoiler

IF YOU HAVE ANY UNEXPLAINED ISSUES THEN PLEASE TRY CHANGING THE WINESKIN ENGINE TO THE LATEST ONE (E.G. 1.6-RC4X)

CANT LOGIN OR INSTALL GAME: When you try to run the game, you may not be able to login. When you try to install the game, it wont seem to install due to 'not enough memory'.Solution: VERY Simple! Just drag the game off the .dmg file and place it on your desktop! Running the game off the dmg will cause the problems above, so make sure you aren't doing that!

SETUP.EXE ERROR: When installing the game through the setup.exe (if you are using the wrapper only), you will receive a 'failed to register with game explorer' error message at the end of the installation. Solution: Just click OK and the game will finish installing.

NEVERWINTER LAUNCHER ERROR: When starting the game from the launcher, you may receive a "Failed systems specs check"box. Solution: Just click "Yes, with default settings." and check 'remember my selection'.

LONG LOADING SCREEN: When launching the game, it may take several minutes for the game to load after the 'Cryptic' intro/loading screen. Solution: Just wait around 3-5 minutes and the main menu WILL load. However, the next time you run the game the loading screen should be much quicker.

VERY LAGGY ON AMD/OSX 10.7: If you have an AMD GPU or are using OSX 10.7, you may encounter serious lag making the game very unplayable.Solution: Very simple! Upgrade to OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion! If you do this, performance will (hopefully) increase in ALL Wine wrappers and not just Neverwinter Online!

VERY GLITCHY ON OSX 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD: If you are using OSX 10.6, you may find this wrapper is very buggy and may cause your mac to freeze.Solution: Open up 'Wineskin' inside the contents of the wrapper, click 'set screen options' and UNCHECK the 'Use Mac driver' check box and then exit wineskin. Now the wrapper should use X11 and stop the freezing!

LAGS ON PROTECTORS ENCLAVE MAP: This is a VERY common issue! Protectors Enclave is a VERY DEMANDING Map and lags EVEN on windows!Solution: Try the following ADVANCED graphics settings (click the advanced options checkbox in the neverwinter graphics menu):

Full ScreenV-Sync - OffRender Scale - 100% (Lowering this will also increase performance)Graphics - Change to whatever you feel is necessary to run the game comfortably.Anti-Aliassing - 2x (Performs even better with AA Off!)Shadows - Low(Performs even better with Shadows Off!)Dynamic Lighting - OffSSAO - Off

Click on advanced, install new software and go to your desktop. Find 'setup.exe' in the folder that you downloaded earlier.

Once you agree to the terms and conditions, paste the following in the 'Destination Folder' box: C:\Program Files\Cryptic Studios

Click continue and uncheck the option for a desktop icon and then let the game install. *THIS WILL TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES*. - Take this time to sign up to the Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter websiteif you havent all ready.

You will then get an error message at the end of the install, thats ok. Just click 'ok' and the error will go away and the setup will finish!

Once the setup is done, double click the wrapper and the game will launch!

Check out the 'known issues' section above to see any issues you may encounter.

Have fun!

Please post some feedback on how this runs on your graphics card! Information on all cards would be great!

How long does the Neverwinter downloader take? Because I left it overnight and its only at 4% plz help.

Which download method are you using? I had to spend 2.5 hours downloading the PC installer yesterday... it was horrible since the download speed was limited to 400kb/s. Thats why I uploaded the pre-installed version too

I don't think your card is suitable enough for gaming on high settings/full resolution in this game. You need to lower graphics settings and/or resolution when playing.

I'm on the game: Neverwinter D&D Loading...

But nothing happens, i can't go after the loading screen ( After Cryptic screen )

Graphical: ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB

I mentioned this issue in the 'Known Issues' bit above.
Fist time you start the game, it will take around 4 minutes to load, this is just the game connecting to the server for the first time. Next time you launch the game, it will load much faster.
Your card does not have enough VRAM (minimum requirements is 512mb vram), so when you play, make sure you play at lowered graphics settings or resolution

That's work but the game is lagging a lot...

Again, make sure you change your graphics settings so that you get better performance. Try lowering resolution too.

I got neverwinter to load up, but then when I exit, it just restarts and says no executable, so I have to install it every time I want to play.

When installing the game, make sure you paste the following in the 'Destination Folder' box: C:\Program Files\Cryptic StudiosAlso, then open wineskin inside the wrapper click advanced and in the 'Windows EXE' box, make sure it also says: /Program Files/Cryptic Studios/Neverwinter.exe
